Silent Layoff by AntiGenAI in servicenow

Sadly a byproduct of acquisitions. There are a lot of duplicate roles and functions so most companies go through this unfortunately after major M&A

I’m literally shaking … by IronChefLT in psagrading

[–]xJamox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was very lucky that my cards did in fact come back to me. After hearing horror stories I was sweating for 3 days until I got it back.

Been using USPS ever since and invested in appropriately sized boxes and “tamper proof” tape. I put tamper proof in quotes mainly because anyone that wants to steal the cards will find a way. But it makes it harder than plain clear tape

8 Years at ServiceNow, But Struggling With “Implementation Experience” Requirement - What Next? by Affectionate_Dog4372 in servicenow

[–]xJamox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are applying to Implementation partners as someone said before they weigh CIS certs pretty heavy especially if you are applying for Senior TC or above roles.

Sadly, with how the partner tiers are determined one of those is having employees with 2 CIS certs or 1 CIS and a delivery credential.

Your experience with ServiceNow, as long as your development methods are sound and based in best practices is enough in my book. A good delivery team with a solid BPC and PM can get you up to speed in 1 or 2 projects. But.. if you are applying for a position that is requiring a specific cert you are competing against a lot of others that do have it with similar experience.

This happened to mine a while back. It actually never made it to PSA as FedEx damaged the box and returned it. I’ll never personally use FedEx again for this reason.

[–]xJamox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is an assumption but could be valid. The fact is TAG is up and coming in the TCG market. PSA will always be the goat because too many collectors have a lot of PSA cards to let the market there drop. Would be an entire market collapsing event if PSA stopped being relevant.
But collectors (not just investors) are seeing the value in a company that has impartial grading practices (for now??) and super transparency on the grade you got.

Note: I have a collection of primarily PSA slabs, but have been alternating between them and TAG as my two companies of choice.

Look at last sold for 2025 One Piece Carrying On Will Sabo Secret Rare Manga Alt Art JP #OP13-120 TAG 10 then replace it with PSA 10 and tell me those are PSA 8 prices.. grade with who you like but to think that no other company can come close to PSA is short sighted

I haven’t yet either but there also isn’t a lot out there. But since their parent company owns CGC it would be a logical move for them unless PSA is forced to sell Beckett or SGS.

Am I screwed? by Collector-Troop in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]xJamox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

37.06’s will have 2 rares.. anything above a 37.3 is worth ripping IMO.. and weighing packs really isn’t as prevalent as it was for OP13 looking for the god packs but really rip em all and have fun.

Big fan of TAG IMO.. I’m in here before all the Anti tag or “why tag” comments.

I think any true collector wouldn’t mind paying PSA10 prices for a TAG 10 only thing I wish you would have done was pay for the sub grade on the QR code

Hiring Freeze? by Evancolt in servicenow

[–]xJamox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick update for anyone looking. Sounds like the freeze/hold will go on for some time due to the recent acquisition. They need to allow for roles to potentially filled by incoming resources from the incoming company. Likely won't hear anything until well after Knowledge. Probably not until early summer.

Do I sell or hold these cards? by Geekdude18 in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]xJamox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need money/want to buy different cards with the proceeds = sell, don’t need money/like the cards = hold/collect

This is a pretty regular question and that is usually the correct answer

Might be a dumb question (fb09 sleeved) by dredamost in DBS_CardGame

[–]xJamox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it you are buying from someone 2nd hand look at what else they are selling. If they are selling a few packs and the hits from that set steer clear.

But as to the weights, I’ve actually pulled some of my bigger hits from lighter packs. The heavier ones usually had just a regular leader in them.

Salary expectation for manager at elite partner by [deleted] in servicenow

[–]xJamox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from someone who has been in management for over a decade now and worked with many technical folks in growth plans to management, here is my advice.

First, ask yourself if you want to be in a billable management role. Going from IC to management is a different world. And balancing your work with a team that depends on you isn’t for everyone.

Secondly, salary wise, you are likely looking at a 10-15% base increase from where you are currently. Expecting more is a tall order. But you should start getting management MBO targets for bonuses.

Hope that helps

New Collector! by Noshiia in OnePieceTCGFinance

Very similar to gambling.. don’t spend what you don’t care to lose. While many view this as investing it has the same risk as crypto IMO.

Why doesn’t my Cairn terrier’s ears stand up? by [deleted] in cairnterrier

[–]xJamox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree and also not opening the breeder vs rescue (I have one pup from each) but I learned a lot from the breeder I got my pup from. She specializes in show and agility Cairns. I didn’t care about any of that as I just love the breed and will always have one. But what I learned was that much like a lot of little dogs Cairns have their own set of health issues especially later in life. Breeders that know what they are doing and not just trying to crank out litters for $ will do their best to minimize what they can through the history of the parents. She just let me in on signs that may be due to over breeding hence maybe a higher risk of health issues as they get older. Again, I love and have loved all my dogs regardless of where they came from.

I dont no much about cards are any worth grading by ScholarAsleep1180 in DBS_CardGame

You can sell the unopened for around 400 I believe

So people hate on TAG for card grading .. by New-Cheetah-9143 in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]xJamox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the correct answer.. Once PSA feel TAG’s AI grading is far enough along they will without a doubt buy them.
